Niagara Glen Nature Centre is a hidden gem that few people know about and miss entirely while visiting the Niagara Falls area. It is situated on the Niagara Parkway about 8 kilometers north of Niagara Falls midpoint between Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake. The Glen features several kilometers of marked trails that wind their way through a pristine pocket of Carolinian forest, unique rock formations, huge boulders and spectacular gorge scenery. A metal staircase descends into the gorge providing access to the network of trails that will take you deeper into the gorge and close to the water’s edge.
Follow the River Path trail which runs along the Niagara River with amazing close-up views of its turbulent water and gorge. Most often you will see the Whirlpool Jet making its way up and down the river as it rides the Class 5 rapids.
Across the river is the US side. The US side also has a network of trails that connect Devil’s Hole State Park with Whirlpool State Park where awesome views of the river, gorge and whirlpool can be seen. A visit to these 2 New York state parks will not disappoint.
Other points of interest in the area include Queenston Heights and the Niagara Botanical Gardens which is only a few minutes away.
